Heartbreaking fate of Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa's dog revealed by daughter


Gene Hackman's daughter asked that his dog be cremated and its remains buried with his late wife, Betsy Arakawa.

Footage released on Friday by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office shows a phone call between Gene's daughter Elizabeth and a deputy, as per TMZ. The deputy informed Gene's daughter that the two remaining dogs, German Shepherd Bear and Akita-shepherd mix Nikita, were found alive and were being rehomed with family; the pair seen in 1991 Padilla, 42, had forged a close bond over the years with the legendary actor and his wife, Betsy, who took exceptional care of their three dogs, using his training and daycare services as well as those of an animal chiropractor who'd give them adjustments every few weeks.
